Summary
The district reported a fund balance of 4.2 months and discussed planned expenditures including hiring three officers, midcareer teacher pay-scale adjustments and higher minimums for paraprofessionals; trustees debated scenarios for funding these items.
Mike White told trustees that the district’s fund balance was approximately 4.2 months and presented planned uses for those reserves. Among the uses discussed were adding three officers, adjusting the teacher pay scale for midcareer educators and raising minimum pay grades for paraprofessionals.
